A stop 7 5 on the upper plate 45 limits the retracting movement of the rack 66 and prevents further unwinding of the spring motor 55.

Manually operated connections for winding the motor 55 are provided to project the rack 66 and include upper and lower slides 76 and 77 mounted for reciprocating movement from the front to the rear of the casing 35 at the rear of the plates 45 and 46 and at right angles to the movement of the rack 66. The lower slide 77 is slidably mounted directly on a rear extension 78 of the bottom plate 46 and has at its rear end an upturned stop flange 79 that limits the rearward movement of said slide. Said lower slide 77 is provided with-a short rearwardly projecting relatively narrow extension 80 that works through a passageway 81 formed in the stop flange 79 and is guided thereby for straight line movement. On the rear end of the extension 80 is a pair of upright coin-clamping fingers 82 that have laterally and forwardly extended ends 83. The lower slide 77 has on its longitudinal edges channel flanges 84 with which the upper slide 76 is slidably mounted. On the rear end portion of the lower slide 7 is a long laterally projecting latch-actuating bar 85 and on the rear end of the upper slide forward extension 86 that projects between the plates 45 and 46 and has a longitudinal slot through which the pinion 67 loosely projects with freedom to permit free movement of said upper slide. The forward extension 86 of the upper slide 76 is held for straight line movement and against edgewise movement by a guide bar 87 on the top plate 45 and the rear ends of the guide rail 68 and a corresponding lat- I erally spaced guide rail 88 that extends parallel thereto and secured to said top plate. It may be here stated that the intermediate portions of the rails 68 and 88 are spaced below the top plate 45.

On the rear end of the upper slide 76 is an upstanding coin chute 89, the upper end 0 which has the same inclination as the top of the housing 36 and is closely positioned thereto. Normally this coin chute 89 is in registraslot 39, as shown in Fig. 2. On the rear wall of the coin slot 39, at the top thereof, is a laterally projecting lip 90 arranged to close the money slot 39 when the money chute 89 is moved outof registration therewith.

Formed in the front and rear Walls of the lower end portion of the coin chute 89 is a pair of passageways 91 through which the coin-clamped fingers 82 are free to move during the movement of the upper slide 76 on 7 guided thereby.

the lower slide 77. A coiled spring 92 has one of its ends anchored to the lower plate extension 78 and its other end to the lower slide 77, and normally holds said slide against the stop flange 79, as best shown in Fig. 2.

A cam bar 93 is mounted between the plates 45 and 46 for endwise sliding movement under the forward extension 86 of the upper slide 76 for parallel movement to the rack 66. A longitudinal cam slot 94 is formed in the cam bar 93, and a cam stud 95 on the extension 78 on the upper slide 86 extends into said cam slot. The cam bar 93 is reciprocated by a hand lever 96 pivoted to and between the plates 45 and 46 and has at its pivoted end a crank extension 97 connected to the intermediate portion of a swinging link 98 by a slot and pin connection 99. One end of the link 98 is pivoted to the plates 45 and 46 and its other end is connected to the respective end of the cam bar 93 by a slot and pin connection 100. The lever 96 extends outward of the casing 35 through a circumferential slot 101 formed in the right side thereof.

A fixed finger piece 102 is secured to the casing 35 at the rear of its slot 101. The end portion of the cam bar 93 to which the link 98 is connected is downwardly offset, works in a slot 1.03 in the lower plate 46, and is guided thereby, and the other end or head of said bar works between the rails 68 and 88 and is A coiled spring 104 anplate 46 and attached to the lever 96 normally and yieldingly holds said lever with the cam bar 93 stopped by the engagement of the cam stud 95 in one end of the cam slot 94, as shown in Fig. 8.

A latch bar 105 is mounted in a channel 106 that extends transversely across the upper face of the head of the cam bar 93 and is held in said channel by the top plate 45. This latch bar 105 extends transversely under the rails 68 and 88 and has a lug 107 and a pin 108 that engage the opposite longitudinal edges of the latch-actuating bar 85 and connect said bar 85 thereto against endwise movement but with freedom for sliding movement longitudinally thereon. Normally the latch bar 105 is out of engagement with the rack 66 but is positioned to be projected chored to the lower f back of its lock detent 69. Extending from opposite sides of the latch bar 105 is a pin 109 arranged to engage and travel along either of the longitudinal edges of the rail 88. A pair of longitudinally spaced passageways 110 are formed in the under side of the rail 88 for the passage of the pin 109 from one side of said rail to the other at the limit of the two extreme edgewise movements of the latch bar 105 by the cam bar 93.

A coin box 111 is inserted into the casing 35 through an opening in the bottom thereof and is releasably held in place by a spring latch 112 on a partition 113 in said casing. This partition and the wall of the casing 35 operate the pinion 67 to wind the motor 55. During the winding of the motor up to this time the turntable 48 has been held by the stop lug 62 against rotation and the pawl 54 has been slipping over the ratchet wheel 53. The initial movement of the rack 66 has carried the lock lug 71 out of engagement with the shoulder 72 and it is positioned between the cam shoulders 73 and 74.

Still further retracting movement of the cam bar 93 causes its cam slot 94 to move the cam stud 95 and thereby move the upper slide 76 rearward to release the held coin 135. During this movement of the upper slide the lower slide 77 is held stationary by the latch bar 105 which in turn is held against endwise movement by the engagement of its pin 109 with the front longitudinal edge of the rail 88. During the final retracting movement of the rack 66 during the winding of the motor 55 the cam lock 71 engages the cam shoulder 74 and retracts the slide 63 and thus moves the lug 62 out of the path of movement of the stop shoulder 64, thus re leasing the turntable 48. During the completion of the retracting movement of the cam bar 93 the pin 109 is brought into registration with the respective passageway 110 and the cam shoulder 70 engages the latch bar 105 and moves the same out of engagement with the detent 69. With the pin109 thus released from the rail 88 the spring 92, which has been held under tension by the lower slide 77 in its forward position, becomes active and returns said slide to its normal position, which, in turn, completes the retracting movement of the latch bar 105 by its latch-actuating bar 85. Upon the release of the lever 96, at the completion of the projecting movement of the cam bar 93 to wind the motor 55, the spring 104 returns said lever to its normal position which in turn retracts the cam bar 93 and this action of the cam resets the upper slide 76 under the action of the cam slot 94 and the cam stud 95. At the time the latch bar 105 is move out of engagement with the detent 69 the rack 66 is released and the motor 55 becomes active to rotate the turntable 48.

During the unwinding of the motor 55 its pinion 67 retracts the rack 66 and during this retracting movement of said rack its lock lug 71 engages the cam shoulder 73 and projects 7 the slide 63' to reposition the stop lug 62 in and locks the slide path of movement of the stop shoulder 64 on the turntable 48. At the completion of the retracting movement of the rack 66 its lock lug 71 again moves over the shoulder 72 63 projected. The engagement of the rack 66 with the stop 75 stops theunwinding action of the motor, at which time the turntable 48 has made one complete rotation and is again stopped by the engagement of its stop shoulder 64 with the stop lug 62.

6 the rack 66, and its stop,

During the winding of the motor 55 the cat 119 and dog 129 are stationary in the housing 36, as shown in Fig. At the completion ofthe winding of the motor 55 and the release of the turntable 48 ried over the platform 38 by said turntable adistance of substantially 180, as shown in Fig. 4. In this position of the cat119 the cam channel 134, acting on the cam stud 133, moves the dog 129 through the door opening 42 and over the platform 38 toward the cat 119. Upon the approach oflthe dog 129 toward the cat 119 the slide 63 is projected by lug 62 is moving .into the path of movement of the tripping finger 127 on the cat 119. When the tripping finger 127 engages the stop lug 62 further movement of the front half of the cat 119 is stopped, thereby causing said cat to hump her back, as shown'in Fig. 30, and then stand still in this position. hile the cat 119 is standing still the turntable continues to rotate, due to the slot 122 in which the cat support 123 projects, and places the spring 128 under tension. y the time the turntable 48 has moved substantially the lengthof the slot 122 the stop lug 62 is moved out of engagement with the tripping finger 127, thus releasing the cat 119 and the pin 128, acting on the arm 121, quickly returns the same to its original position in respect to the turntable 48', thus causing the cat 119 to jump into a position as shown in Fig. 6, just before the dog reaches the same and enters the housing 36 through the door opening 41, as shown in Fig. 7. After the cat 1.19 has jumped away from the dog 129 the cam channel 134, acting on the cam stud 133, returns said dog to the housing 36 through the door opening 42, as shown in Fig. 3. After the stop lug 62 transversely has released the cat 119 said stop lug is positioned in the path of movement of the stop shoulder 64 on the turntable 48 and stops said turntable at the completion of a complete rotation with the cat d 119 and dog 129 repositioned in their original posit-ions in front of the door openings 40 and 42, respectively.

After the coin has been released from the coin chute 89 the same drops through the coin slot 115 and is deposited in the coin box 111. The purpose of making the coin box 111 detachable from the casing 35 is to permit sai boX, when filled with coins, to be detached from said casing and taken to a bank for the contents to be deposited, thus making it unnecessary to carry The purpose of long thin instrument such as a from being inserted through the coin slot 39 and coin chute 89 to connect the upper an lower slides 76 and 77 to lock the mechanism so that the toy may be operated without depositing the coin in the bank. By requiring a coin to complete the action of the mecha the cat 119 is carnism it is an incentive to a child to save so that he can manipulate the toy.
